As a postgraduate student, you will be taught by a highly qualified team of academic staff, who have extensive clinical and research experience, as well as by practising clinicians with whom we work in close partnership to ensure all our modules and programmes provide our students with the contemporary knowledge and skills to work in health and social care settings.  We have particular expertise in remote and rural nursing and healthcare and our programmes also suit health and social care practitioners who work in these settings.
